In 2013, George Spencer-Brown began mentoring Leon through the process of engaging with 'Laws of Form' on a weekly basis, following which the engagement continued through the last 3 years of Spencer-Brown's life, and resulted in a meaningful friendship. Leon has gone on to successfully apply Spencer-Brown's methodology to the practice of logic, and – most recently – to the analysis of story structures, looking at the close link between story structures and different types of problems.
As founder of *The Traditional Tutor* (traditionaltutor.co.uk site
